Each question carries 01 Mark each. There are MORE than ONE correct options for
some of the Questions. All correct options must be identified for the answer to be
evaluated as correct.
Q1. Of the two strands of Artificial Intelligence activity, the one that seeks to understand how
intelligent behaviour arises is the ______________.
A. Cognitive approach.
B. Engineering approach.
C. Machine Learning approach.
D. Symbolic approach.
Q2. ________________ is the approach for modeling the relationship between a scalar dependent
variable Y and one or more explanatory variables (or independent variables) denoted X.
A. Regression
B. Classification
C. Clustering
D. Matching
Q3. In pure inductive inference, given a collection of examples of f, return a function h that
approximates f. The function h is called a _____________.
A. utility function.
B. hypothesis
C. approximation function
D. classifier
E.
Q4. Which of the following statements are correct for Machine Learning vis-à-vis Statistics?
I. Machine learning deals with low-dimensional data [e.g. less than 100 D].
II. Structure in the data; methods involve figuring out a way to represent this structure.
A. Statements I and II
B. Only Statement II
C. Only Statement I
D. None.
Ans: Question based on Week 10 (Lecture 1) Videos
Q5. A decision-tree learning system for real-world applications must be able to handle the following
problems:
A. Missing Data
B. Approximation
C. Continuous-valued attribute
D. Multivalued attribute
Q6. Assertion: For implementing choose-attribute in DTL (Decision Tree Learning) algorithm,
one exploits Information Theory to measure the expected amount of information
provided by the attribute.
Reason: Information Theory provides a mathematical basis for measuring the information
content.
Q7. Assertion: Overfitting makes use of irrelevant attributes to distinguish between samples that
have no meaningful differences.
Reason: The presence of irrelevant attributes may lead to more degrees of freedom in the
decision tree.
Mark the correct choice as
A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A
B. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation for A
C. A is True but R is False
D. A is false but R is True
Ans: Question based on Week 10 (Lecture 2) Videos
Q9. For a learning agent __________ provides ways and means of weighing up the desirability of
goals and the likelihood of achieving them.
A. Decision Theory
B. Utility Theory
C. Probability Theory
D. Bayesian Networks
Q10. Although the three ML paradigms – Supervised, Unsupervised and Reinforcement Learning
help to organize ideas; much current research involves blends across these categories.
__________learning makes use of unlabeled data to augment labeled data in a supervised
learning context.
A. Active
B. Unsupervised
C. Semisupervised
D. Reinforcement
